Before I tell about it, I must introduce Dr. Karl Henner, the well-known literary critic from Berlin, who was travelling in this country, and stopped off in Western City at that time. Dr. Henner was the cause of my going to see the picture, and if you will have a moments patience, you will see how the ideas which he put into my head served to start me on my extraordinary adventure. You may not know much about these cultured foreigners. Their manners are like softest velvet, so that when you talk to them, you feel as a Persian cat must feel while being stroked. They have read everything in the world; they speak with quiet certainty; and they are so old old with memories of racial griefs stored up in their souls. I, who know myself for a member of the best clubs in Western City, and of the best college fraternity in the country I found myself suddenly indisposed to mention that I had helped to win the battle of the A rgonne. This foreign visitor asked me how I felt about the war, and I told him that it was over, and I bore no hard feelings, buto fcourse I was glad that Prussian militarism was finished.

They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of the Second Coming is a novel written by Upton Sinclair in 1922 that exposed the new and upcoming culture of 1920s Southern California, namely Hollywood. Sinclair does this by using Jesus, or Carpenter as Sinclair calls him, as a literary figure. The story takes place in the fictional locale Western City. It begins with a man named Billy who is attacked by a mob outside a theater after watching a German film. Billy then stumbles into a church and is visited by Carpenter, that is Jesus, who walks out of a stained glass window. Carpenter is shocked and appalled by upper-class culture. The story then roughly follows the biblical account of the Ministry of Jesus. In the end, Carpenter decides to escape the corroded culture by jumping back into the stained glass window whence he came. (wikipedia.org).

Fiction, What would happen if Jesus Christ paid a visit to California in the early twentieth century? That's exactly what transpires in this thought-provoking tale from Upton Sinclair, author of the renowned meatpacking industry expose, The Jungle. Sinclair's messiah figure has a lot to say about the decadence of 1920s America, and not much of it is positive. eBook.
